Type 1 (PP1) and type 2A (PP2A) phosphatase activity was measured in three subcellular fractions of human platelets. About 80 % of the activity was in the high-speed supernatant. Western blots showed that the catalytic subunit of PP1 (PP1c), including alpha- and delta-isoforms, was present in each fraction, but the level of the catalytic subunit of PP2A was very low in the low-speed pellet (cytoskeletal fraction). Various antibodies detected a subunit similar to the 130 kDa subunit (M130) of myosin phosphatase (MP) of smooth muscle in the low-and the high-speed pellets of human platelets. PP1c and associated proteins were isolated by microcystin-Sepharose. Many proteins were separated from each fraction, including myosin, actin and PP1c. M130 was separated only from the low-speed and the high-speed pellets. Kinase activities were detected in the unbound fractions, and fractions from the low-and high-speed pellets phosphorylated M130 and myosin respectively. Treatment of platelets with calyculin A increased the phosphorylation level of many proteins, including myosin heavy-and light-chains, and caused association of cytoskeletal proteins with the low-speed pellet, No marked change in the distribution of PP1c and M130 was detected. These results suggest that the MP in human platelets is composed of PP1c plus a subunit similar to M130 of the smooth muscle phosphatase.
